Apparently I never posted furry Towangy

The noncolored ones are from February of last year and the colored ones are from last night. Yes these are furry-fied object OCs Towel and Hangy.

[insecateur]

Me, looking at vulgar french words for penis: Oh neat they also have Verga

Also tbt to the time a teacher of mine said "Le bilo bitte" instead of Bic and we spent a full hour laughing

"verge" is commonly used in french smut and is at least marginally better than "membre" which is a nightmare imo. "organe" is another euphemism which i feel like you need to be very confident in order to pull off. i haven't written smut in french in so long i'd like to write some this year

"bite" is always funny altho i do think going a step further and reaching for "teub" gives it a real special flavor

[smegmafactory4ever]

I forgot… why do you hate the Kleins? Also I’m praying that you get money soon. Xoxo

Ethan is a self-hating fat guy and a coomer. He has no swag and no sense of humor at all. He used to pretend to be vaguely right-wing adjacent for views and then started pretending to be a vague leftist for views. The whole time he's a basic American Democrat with no real convictions aside from what makes him the most money at any given moment. Actually that's a true he has only one consistent belief, Zionism. Ironically enough he hated living in Israel. Genuinely hateful misogynistic and homophobic but he votes blue so that doesn't matter. Somehow always the victim in every situation even tho he started every single beef he was involved in. Also always just so happens to beef with less popular creators who also just so happen to be mentally unstable but you can't accuse him of having bias there bcs he has mild anxiety and depression. Also started Ozempic as a 40yo married man with kids which is sooooo corny like damn go play with your kids instead of giving yourself violent diarrhea just so you can look better (but not great) on camera.

As for his wife, literally served in the IDF at a desk job which she found "boring" so she 100% volunteerly tagged along on combat missions. That in and of itself is crazy behavior. On top of that, as uncharismatic and unfunny as Ethan is, at least he enjoys being on camera and can talk. Hila just sits there looking like a hostage being held at gun point to awkwardly laugh at her husband's racist jokes. Decided she wanted more money so she, woman with literally no previous interest in fashion and negative swag, started her own overpriced clothing company. Their whole thing is how it's "ethical" streetwear but it's literally sweatshop quality with stolen designs but overpriced as hell. In addition to that basically all reviews for the company on glass door say she's a horrible boss and doesn't actually know anything about how the fashion industry works. Though I would hesitate to call that fashion since only H3tards buy it and it's obviously just overpriced YouTuber merch.

Anyways the parasocial attachments people form with the grossest most-swagless couple on earth are crazy to me since most of their fans would hugely benefit from forming a real life physical bond with a bar of soap.

Idolish7 sexuality headcanons because my head is full of cotton balls and anime boys today

Iori is quietly gay. Mostly closeted but not really trying to hide it, he just doesn't really want to talk about it. Secretly crushing on Riku, but has convinced himself it's just teenage infatuation. (A conviction that helps in no way whenever Riku does something cute or asks him for help)

Yamato is straight but open-minded. Get him drunk enough and he's ready to kiss whoever's at hand. Would be willing to swing the other way for the right person, but so far isn't really interested in anyone at all.

Mitsuki, my ace star! My boy has got no interest in sex whatsoever. He makes a great wingman though, always happy to tag along and talk up his friends. Iori comes to him for advice sometimes, and he always has the best responses to give him. Not aro tho, he wants to find someone(s) to settle down with someday who'll have just as much love to give him as he does them.

Tamaki : this boy is gay and doesn't even know what the closet is. Has never had any compunction about it, no worries, no revelation or coming out, he just is who he is. It's no big deal to him, and he's super perplexed as to why it matters to some.

Sogo spent the first 20 years of his so far in the closet that he's still not comfortable with himself. Only comes out as gay after he joins Idolish7 where he's surrounded by supportive friends. Is slowly starting to accept himself -- Tamaki is a hugely helpful influence with that.

Nagi is the most queer-friendly straight man in existence. An honorary queer. Very much a ladies man but frequently jokes(?) about how it's a shame that he deprives an entire half of the population of his charm. Very staunch trans ally and will hit on trans women just as readily as cis

Riku... I don't think even he knows what's going on inside his head. Had a gay awakening during puberty and straight up forgot about it. An oblivious gay, much to Iori's eternal despair. (Actually Iori's probably fine with it because it means Riku's less likely to notice his crush)

Gaku is bi but fem-leaning. But he's so head over heels for Tsumugi that it hardly even matters. He's Tsumugi-sexual now. Was never really into casual relationships anyway, and really rather hates that people think he's that type.

Tenn has known he's gay since he was very young and is really kind of resentful every time he's required to play up the sexy straight boy act. He's polite to the women he's paired up with of course, but he definitely bitches about it behind closed doors.

Ryu, aroace king. Please free him from the role of sexyman he just wants to go fishing and chill with his friends. He's running out of ways to politely turn people down. Gaku and Tenn come to his rescue whenever they're around, it's practically a routine now.

Momo came to terms with being gay some time ago now. Was a bit conflicted about it in high school, but being gay as an idol is a lot easier then being gay as a soccer player, especially with his partner up on stage with him.

Yuki is the most extremely pansexual man on the face of the planet. Attracted to anyone and everyone, but the attraction feels different from one gender to another. Has had way more casual relationships with women, but both people he's fallen in love with have been men. Maybe fem-leaning sexually and masc-leaning romantically. Or maybe it's just coincidence.

Haruka is a baby gay and still a little awkward about it. Still experimenting, and may or may not land on the gay label. Looks up to Minami for guidance and advice. Could stand to learn a thing or two from Tamaki, but whether or not he will...

Toma is a bisexual disaster. Everyone is pretty and he doesn't really know what to do about that. Thankfully he's got more important things to worry about so he just doesn't really think about it more than he has to.

Minami is cool, calm, collected, and fairly openly gay. Is perfectly content to take on the interest of their male fans. Knows what he wants and is entirely willing to go after it.

Torao : aggressively straight. Maybe a little homophobic about it. Definitely makes Haruka a little nervous. Minami just doesn't care. Will probably lighten up eventually, but things are a bit tense at first.

Who is your favorite driver?

I'm a new fan and I haven't begun properly my Summer Of Race Car Homework so it's all current drivers, but Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant are my faves.

Do you have any other favorite drivers?

I am new, and I honestly like a lot of them. My other faves are probably Zhou Guanyu (fascinated by that man), Yuki Tsunoda (fellow short king), and Oscar Piastri (April Aries Solidarity)

EDIT: FORGOT TO MENTION GEORGE RUSSELL, HAUNTED DOLL OF A MAN WHO I AM VERY INTRIGUED AND COMPELLED BY

Who is your least favorite driver?

I don't really have a least favorite! I don't really know anything about either driver for Haas I guess. So maybe them by default? My sister went to a robotics meet this year sponsored by Haas and decided she will root against them forever because of that meet tho. (this is possibly one of her funniest choices. she does not pay attention to motorsports at all, and only glances over my shoulder to ask how bad things are going for Haas)

Do you pull for drivers or do you like teams as well?

I am definitely driver based, but I picked the Williams team (more on this later) because I managed to catch the portion of pre-season testing where Albon was in the commentary box doing his champagne bit and I like. immediately decided I was rooting for him and Williams by extension. But bc of how i engage with sports I definitely also like teams (sorta. race car homework will decide how much I do later maybe)

If you like teams, what team do you pull for?

Williams (Albon and Logan and then got hit with Lia Block in F1Academy. Lia Block I Would Kill For You) but also Sauber (I pick teams based on color frequently and that green matched my hair last year, and is my fave type of green)

If you could take over as team principal for any team, who would it be and why?

Please christ do not put me in any situation of leadership. Just make me be in charge of like. whatever fuckin weird challenges they make em do on grill the grid. That i would be okay at I think.

How long have you been in F1

Uhhhh....February this year? I was *aware* of it and had friends into it before, and I knew like Hamilton and Verstappen before this year, and I knew who Schumacher was (VAGUELY!) but uh yeah. New Entry. New As Hell Entry, Even.

What got you into F1?

This is actually very funny. A couple buddies of mine have joked that they were gonna get me into motorsports for AGES, because it is "the perfect sport for me" and our new year resolution was to begin that process with nascar, since its "my cultural heritage as a redneck." (this is DEEPLY true and I cannot deny my family ties to nascar, redneckery, and general car silliness) February rolls around and Hamilton to Ferrari gets announced and I, recognizing who Lewis Hamilton is and being deeply surprised by the tumblr news bulletin text my friends to check in on em.

Group response is, "JESUS CHRIST!"

The following response is something to the tune of: "We're changing it up actually. Gee, you love sketchy business practices, financial crime, adrenaline junkie tendencies, weird contract trivia, AND athletes who are weird as fuck, Gee. We're starting you with F1 instead. have fun, please enjoy white collar crime and car racing. we will give u homework when the semester's over" And they did.

So I started following blogs posting memes, binged a few seasons of dts and analyzed the editing bc im a reality tv scholar in my heart and also the editing in that show is FASCINATING TO ME, and started watching highlights and found ways to watch the races, and boy. its a lot of fun! I was really surprised how chatty everyone is/seems to be in the fandom (and in the sports fandoms I guess?) so that's definitely helped.

Do you enjoy fanfic/rpf?

I will read literally any kind of fanfiction if the AU pitch is wild enough and boy does athlete rpf give writers good stuff to work with. I'm a former fanfic editor/beta reader, if the concept compels me I am here for it. Also, I love enabling crazy aus (hi wiz! <3) even if im not an rpf writer myself.

How do you view new fans?

I *AM* a new fan! I try to be conscious of my relative newness, but I'm enthusiastic to be here and having fun. So. Hope that's working!

Are your friends and family into F1 as well?

No, but we're a nascar family and we used to always be on a little family trip to my grandparents' house during the same week as the Indy500, so growing up we'd all be very sunburned and therefore hiding out inside while that race was on, so I grew up watching the indy500 (very different from nascar but this is also my fams only interaction with indy). I'm working on getting into nascar for the family, and Indy just to be the family's indycar and f1 correspondent.

For the friends, I do have those friends into f1 and theyre all gems and some of the oddest people I've ever experienced (very much the lesbians/gays who watch all sports stereotype), however the Car Chatter has always gone over my head until this year, but ya know. you move away and get busy so keeping track of hobbies and sports is hard when you arent religiously blocking someone every time a rivalry match goes down lol

Are you open to talking to other fans/making friends?

Of course! I am a very extroverted and social person I love making friends <333

My 13 Favorite Fics of Mine in 2022

Okay my imposter syndrome is, for once, sitting the fuck down and shutting up, so I am going to take this opportunity and reflect on last year's fics. Not all the ones I wrote, but my favorites. With a bit of commentary, bc I'm extra. Most of these are drabbles lol. Just Between Us is the only fic over, like, 2k I think. And I'm gonna tag some friends because I want to see yall's too!! Pretty please!! @drarrily-we-row-along, @basicallyahedgehog, @geesenoises, @makeitp1nk, @peachpety and @lettersbyelise and anyone else who wants to play!

Just Between Us

Starting off with my Wireless. Oh man am I proud of this one. Such a pain in the ass but ultimately so rewarding.

Goodnight, and Have a Pleasant Tomorrow

I am extremely proud of the jokes I wrote for this one.

We Like Fighting Most

Another one where I'm proud of the jokes.

the I Knew You mini-series

Man, this is some of the best writing I think I did all year, tbh.

Song 4 for the 99 Songs Challenge

I will continue this challenge. I fully have at least 2 more prompts requested, and plenty more that haven't. One day lmao. Anyway I'm very proud of the ending of this one.

To the Ground

I'm gonna be so real with yall. I wrote this super late at night when I was exhausted. I am shocked this got the response that it did, especially when I am 98% sure I've written at least 2 other fics very similar to this one with similar plot; I even said so in the tags.

Takes One to Know One

Aw man. I'm really proud of this one. It's pretty angsty tho lol.

i still got love for you

I was STOKED when a Taylor song was prompted for microfic, but I was also laughing my ass off at everyone who was shocked it wasn't prompted by me LMAO. Anyway. I was very happy with how this one turned out.

Vow

I'm gonna write a longer Medieval AU. I realllllyyy wanna.

Tale as Old as Time

I tooootallly forgot about this one. Wow this one was so fun. I ought to have a better way of keeping track of my fics lol.

some things you just can't speak about

I loved writing this one!! I just loved creating this world of a War AU.

Our Song(s)

I had a BLAST writing this; getting the songs and making them fit into one story.

begin again

This feels like the right one to end it on. I was very proud of this concept, and it makes me smile.

[tennessoui]

I had my evening unexpectedly free, so I present:

My top ten tennessoui au’s of 2022 (specifically the small ones/ones that don’t have fics)

Gone, but not forgotten 😔🙏 (/j)

(10) - Playmaker au (this is only so far up bcs it has a a lil christmas ficlet and gets updated/posted about frequently)

(9) - Freudian slip au (it has a fic BUT IT ISNT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH!!! I LOVE IT SM!!!!)

(8) - cheating au (ONE OF MY FAVES!!!! gets posted about a lot tho so it’s high up the list)

(7) - pool boy au (i feel like everyone forgot about this one BUT I DIDN’T!!!)

(6) - remedial mechanics au (this one slips my mind every so often but then I get the joy of rediscovering it)

(5) - pirates of the caribbean au (this was literally my life line at one point I’m not even joking. it’s not my favourite anymore, but it’s close to my heart fr)

(4) bartender au/when all we have are shadows (MY LIGHT!!! MY LOVE!!! MY EVERYTHING!!!!!)

(3) - professor can fvck me au (I ALMOST FORGOT THIS ONE BUT ITS ACTUALLY THE BEST)

(2) - twilight au (IT MAKES ME SO FERAL AJSJSJ PLS ITS SO SMALL IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHERS BUT IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AHAHAH)

(1) - bodyguard au (*INCOHERENT SCREAMING* ITS JUST SO AND I JUST AND ITS SO AND I LOVE AND ITS JUST AND YEAH ITS SO)

honourable mentions:

- that one actors au that im pretty sure I dreamt???? they’re fake dating but actually real dating and it’s a whole thing and it made me giggle and kick my feet n shi 🤭

- haunted house fic from like 2 years ago?? was that real???? or am i crazy???

also literally all of ur au’s omg they all make me 🥹😍😞🤩😭🥵😱🤭

LOL omg thank you so much for this

(playmaker au)(freudian slip au)(cheating au)(pool boy au)(remedial mechanics au)(pirates of the caribbean au--squick tag: a/b/o)(bartender au)(professor can fuck me au)(twilight au)(bodyguard au)

(honorable mentions: costars au, haunted house au)

i literally adore asks like this because i have so many aus and stories but when people tell me a list of their favorites im like ooooh ok i think i can see the sort of dynamic you like the most (at least in my writing) based on the things most of these aus have in common for example most of these feature a gruff, rough around the edges obi-wan --probably tattooed-- coupled with an earnest, pretty boy anakin who obi-wan is a tad unreasonable about. one of them is really into their age difference and the potential power dynamics there. it's probably anakin, but obi-wan is gonna get a lot of pleasure out of it too

this is sooooo valid we love a toppy obi-wan who wants to pinch at the bridge of his nose in frustration until his partner slips onto his lap and kisses away his worry lines even though he tries to remain grouchy etc etc

[airbenderedacted]

Dark humor galore - YES YES that's her yeS! Major bonus points for her expressing her own twisted sense of humor in the most dorky-asf ways, always!! 🌟

Sexy bully - yeahh imho this is a hard no when it comes to humor styles to use often (if at all) with her, ESP when irt what her own sense of humor is..

That "mess with them" comment is one I'm not a fan of either tbh bc it's confusingg like you say, and also 'cause the most straightforward answers to what it probably means are.. pretty... Dumb? "Ooh, you thought I was this gender but actually I'm THIS gender haha get rekt gets em everytime" just... sucks 😭 so personally I think the best way to read it regardless of whatever it's ~supposed to~ mean is like, "Anyone who'd get super flarfed up over this honestly deserves it and I think that's funny *proceeds to be authentic gnc self* if your stupid head explodes then it explodes lmao go ahead & die about it!"

DEFINITELY her love for riot grrrl includes the fact that it was a punk feminist movement - going off her writing in the show and stuff that's been shared by woy crew behind the scenes, I think it's correct to say that she's a riot grrrl herself (but the fact that she's a feminist is easy to overlook bc being as self-centered as she is def clashes with an ideology that's inherently about caring to look out for others in addition to yourself, aka "she's this but she's not great at it bc of who she is") hence her song's intro, how she hates being "typecast as The Girl", etc.

"Personal boundaries over her body" + "pride that would prevent her from being intensely vulgar & 'degrading' her self in her view" + "No sense of sympathy for others, she just wants to destroy those puny little faces (Cute aggression over 9,000!) And it's bleak! Yeah! ...and, lonely. Woops." I believe ALL hit the nail on the head with her... with probably a piiiinch of "not caring what people think abt her or her body bc ofc she's already perfect, she's HER" mixed in for good measure! 🤏

Sexuality is not something I would have her be unhinged with because I think veering into that realm would have the unfortunate side-effect of creating some uncomfortable implications/vibes about the character. (......Side note: I'm just now realizing that I may have been using "sexy bully" to mean something dissimilar to what you first meant with it [femme fatale / weaponized feminine wiles trope™ vs 'those female anime characters that are uH...um 😨😭'] SO IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN Uh HOPEFULLY ALL OF THAT STILL MADE SENSE I dont think there's anything in what I wrote that I'd retract aside from usin that term wrong... I'd just like to add an extra, "yEAH NO SHE IS NOTTT SUPPOSED TO REALLY BE THAT, NO" for good measure hrbzBDNDMGBFVN)

Back to what I mentioned earlier about the Sexy Bully archetype not really fitting her: as cringe as much of its execution was (*stareshardatTheBattleRoyale*), the only times we ever see that trope being applied to her in-show is when it'd be the most appropriate way for her to give her enemy a false sense of security/accomplishment and/or the best way to totally humiliate them when she up and wrecks them just seconds later. She's often shown to NOT enjoy playing the part, (given her subsequent irritation towards said enemies and their feelings for her that she used against them, how she'll only ever keep up the ruse for a very short amount of time, and how she never weaponizes her feminine wiles against them ever again once she drills it into their head that she feels the total Opposite and wants to destroy them), so it's not the specific ruse itself that she favors using, rather it's that she loves crushing people's hopes so much that she'll opt to personally give somebody hope that they're going to get what they want just so she can shatter it only a moment later, just for the sadistic cruelty of it. Dominator is a character who cares a lot about being authentically and unabashedly herself, and since the Sexy Bully thing is so opposite her authentic self, it doesn't seem right to label her as being that archetype, especially when it isn't a go-to by any means, even though the trope does get used with her in bits. The fact of the matter is that she can always accomplish her victories and the inflicting of terrible harm without ever resorting to these methods... but using them capitalizes on the hope-crushing, it makes her victory-in-progress even more assured... yeah, she doesn't NEED all this, but Dominator is an overkill kind of guy, so even when the situation annoyingly calls for her mode of manipulation to be: Using The Sultry Act To Play Some Fool, she goes for it. And she pulls off that sweet, sweet bullying overkill by honestly putting the least amount of effort necessary into using her feminine wiles to preemptively salt a wound because she's not gonna apply her love of overkill to the very execution of This Thing That She Kind Of Hates Doing (it's just the fruits of the labor that she loves), no, she'll only floor it with the stuff she loves to enact (the power of incredible violence!), because there's nothing more important than what you love doing, right?

I wrote WAY more than I meant to here 😅 the TL;DR is that She's very much the "get under your skin and twist the knife" type, but when it comes to the sexy bully trope specifically, it's not something that she'd go far with, so anything that'd make you go, "hm... that's rather vulgar..." would probably be ooc I think, whereas most anything else wretched of her, she will VERY MUCH go far with, because she'll be like that with stuff that feels true to herself, and only with that kind of stuff!

ALSO I JUST REAL QUICK WANNA SCREAM ABOUT HOW COOL IT IS TO SEE SOMEBODY ELSE WHO INTERPRETED HER "WHAT— EW. NO!" AS IMPLYING HELLA PERSONAL BOUNDARIES AND ALL THAT!! BC I HONESTLY THINK SHE HAS A P DECENT AMOUNT OF THEM. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO PUT TO WORDS / EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHY, BUT YEAH! JUST SEEING SOMEBODY ELSE BE LIKE 'OK BUT THIS IS WHAT THAT REACTION COMES OFF AS POTENTIALLY SAYING ABOUT HER' IS REALLY NEAT ABDNANDS.

End note: ..I am so sorry for how long all this word-vomit is, oh my goodness. Oh, AND for missing that you reblogged with an addition that further explains what you were thinking, ahh. I saw this post when I got home from class the other day and got so excited to reply to everything there is to talk about here 😅 I started off just jotting down specific notes in my phone's notepad app one-by-one and then came back to add to it here and there and yeaaaahhh that method.. snowballed bad aosdihgvsoihshgghh 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 sorry for the insane wall of text. Wrote that massive chunk on Dom and the sexy bully archetype stupid late at night and the dormant part of my brain that gets poetic about Lord Domiantor or whatever that writing style is got activated aoahg💥 🙏

????

So I'm trying to write out some ideas for Dominion au scenes and I guess I'm questioning what kind of humor fits Dominator? She's definitely comically evil + mean spirited so there is dark humor galore (Plus with kid cosmic using death as a punchline, lmafo it makes for some dark opportunity),

but if.... sighes, If the writers really were trying to go for the "she doesn't belong in the show" anime-op-badass "sexy bully"(<<<gags I hate this approach i hate sexy bully) archetype, I have to wonder if she's conscious of herself in situations or not. In Q&A they say she loves riot grrl but she's also fine with using a guy persona to "mess with people"?? Mess with them how? Make them double take and awkwardly scramble to treat her differently? Or make them not judge her as a (gender) but as a badass foe first and foremost regardless, and being a woman is just the cherry on top? I have to wonder if her love for the riot grrl genre includes the fundamental girl empowerment (proud to be a girl), or the "don't judge me just because I am a girl! I belong here too!" aspect. Is her perspective that she is proud to be a badass woman, or does she feel she's a badass who happens to be woman therefore women must be great? She seems to use whatever tools she has at her disposal, but also has a comedic self care routine of fluffy towels and pink guest bathrooms. So she's all out evil villain, but also has sensitivities and seemingly personal boundaries with "me-time" which doesn't read entirely as the all out off the wall destroyer, but a quirky lethal evil conqueror. It matters because like, would she be a "sexy" bully that has personal boundaries over her body, or is it all in, make the others squirm and yelp? Is she vulgar and unhinged? or does she have some kind of pride that would prevent her from "degrading" her self in her view by flirting with people she sees as losers? We have characters that have a sense of pride or a sense of boundary, which can make for good kind spirited humor too, but if Dominator really doesn't belong, it's hard to discern just how far her actions would go. basically it's one of the two: A) she embodies the "intensely evil little girl" all grown up into a fearsome villainess, playing godzilla with living toys. This is within the same vein to Hater's "spoiled brat emo prince" all grown up into a manchild rockstar tyrant personality. This means she would have some personal boundaries and sense of pride, meaning she would toy with others (flirting, teasing) but not be intensely vulgar. Fits the setting of WoY pretty well, though? Is... being pretty and mean enough to be a sexy bully archetype? Ugh Man, I hate this trope lmao. It feels gross. B) She embodies the "evil no matter what" and just happens to be a woman. she relishes in bullying others and making them squirm, wanting to destroy everything in her path. She's super unhinged and even self-destructive if not careful. No sense of sympathy for others, she just. wants. to. destroy. those puny little faces. (Cute aggression over 9,000!) And it's bleak! Yeah! ...and, lonely. Woops. This means she would be very vulgar, and not care what people think about her or her body because of course she's already perfect, she's HER. This to me reads as more so the sexy bully archetype, but ignores some semblance of her softer sides like her "...friend?" moments with Sylvia or her funny reactions to things like "what? Ew--no." which imply personal boundaries. I'm writing a whole damn essay about this because I don't want to make her too vulgar if it's ooc. But... it's seriously hard to understand what the hell the writers even meant by "sexy bully" because is that just a hot mean girl? Or a get under your skin and twist the knife just "to break your heart and watch you cry" kinda thing??? HOW FAR DOES IT GO, idk idk. Frankly I wish canon Dominator was not fanservice sultry and only sporadically "maniac pixie nightmare girl" like the VA's videos implied, because that stuff was hysterically fitting for WoY. Unhinged and unfitting of the WoY universe, but in a light goofy turning instantly heavy and dark humored way.

Get to know you tag game

Thanks @hergan416 for the tag i needed a distraction frm anxiety supreme

First Ship: naruto and sasuke yeah BAYBEE its all about the nindo way dattebayo (i was 12)

Last Song: Just One Yesterday (Fall Out Boy) its my favourite song ever, I listen to it almost daily and never get tired of it, wish I could see how many times ive played it because its been 10 years since save rock and roll came out as an album so i assume its ALOT of repeats, something about the melody something about the lyrics jts fucking genius i love it esp the part:

Anything you say can and will be held against you

So only say my name

It will be held against you

Makes me go balls to the walls everytime lol

Last Movie: Mario movie it was nice, wish I watched in America tho, i think alot of the references and jokes were lost on the audience here :(

[bestgband]

ROUND 1 SIDE A IS MOSTLY DONE! (except for one poll...)

There were a few heated matches, like The birthday poll, Christian Death vs The Cramps and to some extent The Cure vs. Type O Negative. However most of these were pretty static with one band in the lead the whole time. Except The Birthday Massacre who briefly overtook The Birthday Party. Anyway here's a list of the winners along with some commentary:

The Birthday Party (as I said, The Birthday Massacre was briefly in the lead!! I'd say quite an even matchup, even if by the end there was a 13,2% gap between them. Also this was by far the most popular poll with 83 notes and 650 votes)

Killing Joke (let's be honest This Cold Night didn't stand a chance. sad !)

The Cramps (NOW THIS WAS HEATED,, I don't remember whether Christian Death was initially ahead or not, however by the end there was a 19% gap between them. Also shout out to the one person who forgot the cramps is a band from the 70s and said it's a band for Wednesday fans. funny as shit)

Red Lorry Yellow Lorry (nothing to say here really)

Sisters of Mercy (A lot of people wanted Strawberry Switchblade to win, but most of them were normal about it. Except for one person,, who is blocked, because this is just a fun poll, let's be normal okay?)

Altar De Fey (1 note flop post lmao, no one was really passionate about this)

Lebanon Hanover (this wasn't really a competition but I'm sad about the ink bats,, that's what I get for randomising polls)

Fad Gagdet (the only people who tagged this with something wanted Christ vs. Warhol to win :<)

London After Midnight (Well. It sweeped hard. 96 fucking percent)

The Cure (unsurprising. apologies to type o negative for putting them against fucking the cure)

Corpus Delicti (unexpected sweep since Selofan had more submissions)

Velvet Condom (second least popular poll, with 69 votes. nice)

Belgrado (the least popular poll, with only 56 votes)

Specimen (a lot of people were conflicted. a criminal matchup.

She Wants Revenge (fucking slay i love this one. shout out to vision video tho)

Linea Aspera vs. Bell Tower Bats will end in 16 hours and Side B will end in 2 days!

20 Questions Writer Meme!

thank u @galauvant for the tag!

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 114! oh my god i've been here for 11 years.....

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 810,476

3. What fandoms do you write for? At the moment primarily Star Wars tho i am hoping to retire soon; my top fandom is Friends at the Table

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? It is primarily Magnus Archives JGM no spooky archives au (literally all four fics are on here), the girlies go wild for that

Stumbling and Spinning

you came at the right time

Because you feel like home

In Death's Dream Kingdom (this one is Lockwood & Co!)

if i'm honest, it felt like love

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Sometimes! It's a mixed bag if I'll respond to a "love this" comment, and sometimes I'll just actually forget to reply to really nice comments someone gives me because I don't want to respond on my phone and I just forget when I get to a computer.

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? uuuhhhhh gosh I don't know. Maybe "Five Steps to Take to Ensure Your Soulmate Becomes a Ghost" (Rusty Quill Gaming)? Or "Theseus' Ship" (Dragon Age Origins/II)

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? OH GOSH I DON'T KNOW!!!! This is a harder question to answer because I write a lot of cute and happy fics but what makes it a happy ending is any of the suffering along the way!! So probably "It's Only Forever" (Magnus Archives)

8. Do you get hate on fics? Nope! that would involve people reading it ayyyyy

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? i published one smutty fic and every time someone interacts with it i get embarrassed so no, I do not, my ace ass can't handle it

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I used to write crossovers! I realize how that they were all Johannes Cabal. The craziest was perhaps "Episode #*&%^: The Necromancer" in which August and I write a gender bent welcome to night vale episode in which Johannes Cabal winds up in Night Vale. They even did a recorded version of it!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I don't think so

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes! Several!

14. What's your all-time favorite ship? I'm going to have to go with Signet/Echo from friends at the table because: I invented it.

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? That's probably going to be "-0-" which is a Persona 4 999 AU. I've been thinking for ages how i'd either finish it or rewrite it, but to no avail. I think I worked myself into a wall and can't find my way back out (there is a joke in there about 999 and locked room games, but me not thinking of a good one is just evidence enough)

16. What are your writing strengths? I personally think I have great characterization and mood/atmosphere!

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Excessive use of commas I am awful with visual descriptions of things. You want to know what a place/character looks like? too bad <3

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? If it is that trope of a bilingual person switching to another language because "teehee i forgot" or whatever that is don't do it ESPECIALLY if you yourself don't speak that language! I'm having war flashbacks to my time in the Voltron fandom. People still do it to the hispanic coded characters in Star Wars. Don't do it. If you the writer know how to speak/write this language and it is used because this is legit how a person speaks at home, sure. But you also have to consider: why are you writing this in another language, do you need to, is this out of place or in character? Most importantly: are you white? if you're white, just be safe and don't do it.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Back in my ff.net days, Digimon Adventure!

20. Favorite fic you've written? Um it is my three massive AU fics because I put a lot of time and love into them even if they themselves don't get a love and attention.

I do also plan on book binding the series for 'far from the world' and 'tiny cracks of light' :')

far from the world that i made: Star Wars Rebels S5 AU (86,474 words)

When the war against the Empire is over, Sabine and Ahsoka begin their journey to locate Ezra. They don’t have much of a destination in mind, but Ahsoka knows the Force will guide them where they need to go. At the same time, in the Chiss Ascendancy, Eli receives an important message from one of the Navigators: Thrawn will return, and Eli should be there to meet him. Their paths collide in the Unknown regions, where they are forced to work together to plot a course based on a hunch and a hope. Sabine has to set aside her reservations about working with a former Imperial and aide to Thrawn, while Eli has to come to terms with the fact that he’s trying very hard to save someone who ruined their lives.

My Place to Land: Friends at the Table Twilight Mirage SignetEcho Bodyguard AU (85,495 words)

While on a job for Advent, Echo is arrested by the Beloved Dust and turned over to Excerpt Signet for trial. She offers them a choice: To serve as her bodyguard, or to serve a term in the Thyrsian guard. They thought being a bodyguard for the last remaining Excerpt would be easy. Instead, they find themself wrapped up the politics of a swiftly crumbling society, and have to decide between Advent's vision of the future, or a system that has never cared for them, and the woman who wants to change it all.

tiny cracks of light: Magnus Archives sashavist fantasy AU (37,591 words)

Sasha remains rooted to the floor, steadying herself as the thing inside of her rages. 'There is nothing for you back there,' it says. "I know." She places a hand to her heart and closes her eyes. "I am not looking for anything for myself. Just a man who is missing." She pauses, then her fingers curl around the fabric of her dress. Quietly, hesitantly, she adds, "A friend who needs my help," and hopes that it is true. (When Jon goes missing when attempting a ritual of the Beholding, Sasha is asked to return to the Archives to help find and save him.)

Introductory post!!

Hello! Names's Cemical.

I use any pronouns, tbh i probably wont be too active unless i have something to post about. I just now started using this account just to post/share random thoughts and or realizations about Omori, but i would most likely post about other stuff too!

If you couldn't tell I am going through that Omori brain rot HARD, i rlly love Omori. I'm also proud to say that i am a Dragoon and Pomudachi o7, some other things that i love is Adventure Time and its spin offs, He-man and the Masters of the Universe, Mitski, Gwitch, Popee the Performer, and Arcane.

I draw btw! I have difficulties drawing humans, my strong points in art are animals and backgrounds! Basically anything that doesn't involve humans LMAO. I don't do commissions and i honestly do see myself opening commissions pretty soon. Almost forgot but I mainly do traditional art, I do occasionally do digital art tho!

(Keep reading pls 🙏)

Things about me >:3

i am a minor. yes, i make suggestive jokes, and yes, i don't mind hearing them. However! i will not do any sort of explicitly nsfw content.

The one thing i love the most is OMORIIIIII EHHEJHEjEl. I love Omori a normal amount/j I especially love sunburn (THEY'RE SO CUTE I CANT) ANyways if you love Omori too pls be my mutual, i wanna talk to ppl who love Omori like i do!!

Another thing I'm heavily interested in is He-man and the Masters of the Universe! So the same thing i said about Omori applies here, probably even more so since it is an old tv show AJHBdj(MOOTS PLS)

I mainly text on discord so if you want to chat on there DM on here so i can give you my discord username!

im very bad at spelling (my name is literally chemical spelled wrong LMAO) 👍

Like i said earlier, i am a proud Pomudachi and Dragoon o7, the amount of love I have for Selen and Pomu is insane-

PLEASEE DNI IF:

If you are: A proshipper, homophobic, racist, transphobic, ableist, xenophobic, or just anything like that, i don't like that shit.

My tags...?

I'm new to using Tumblr if that wasn't obvious but i do know that this should help organize things so lets gooo!

Cemical Doodles - Just for my art, not just for doodles 😼

Neuro Wavelengths - for if ppl ask me questions!

Cemical thoughts - For random things that i think about, honestly it might just be filled with Omori related things 💀

ASK ME QUESTIONS!!!!!

Please feel free to ask questions! Preferably something related to my interests or maybe just wanting to learn more about me, but i wouldn't mind random questions ONLY if they're appropriate.

I also wouldn't mind if you request me to draw/doodle smth just don't expect me to do it. 😼👍

[freakingweirdo]

i always feel weird interacting with fetish stuff, although i feel mine tend to sorta straddle the border between 'fetish' and stuff that a good chunk of people would find morally questionable. I kinda want to get in the heads of people who share it and find out why they like it compared to me but I feel like anyone who actively consumes/makes that kinda stuff is just built different than me? not like in a bad way but in a different brain chemistry way that might not mix I forgot where I was going with it but the difference between how people who make fetish content think of their fetish compared to those who just have it is interesting

no fr like i feel like. the more ive gotten into my fetish the more extreme it has gotten? the type of person ppl would call a porn addict victim</3 but it’s like. when i started i was like oh i only like this a little. but bc everyone who makes fetish content was more extreme i ended up into it more extreme than when i started i suppose?

i discovered my fetish btw thru ao3. 2017… used to look at every single new persona 5 fic in the tag regardless of what was in it and i was captivated. did the material shape me or did i just find something finally that fit? is an odd thing to consider. bc that fic is still to me. gold standard

ALSO i love fetish horror stories so i get the morally questionable aspect of it. horror IS exhilarating! david cronenberg you get me.. even tho he always casts conventionally attractive women in his films . #misogyny

some of the best most . evocative writing ive ever read in my life has been deviantart erotica and im not joking. even tho sex is banned there . the shit they come up with. and not everyone fucking listens to the sex ban anyway since it’s just writing

[kalpasio]

IT IS I, 🧊ANON, FILLED WITH A LOT OF SEROTONIN

THERE IS SO MUCH KALPAS CONTENT WITH YOUR ONE-SHOTS AND THE ANIME I'M GONNA GO BALLISTIC

FINALLY THE ANIME AIRED THE FIRST EP!!!! THEY ALL LOOK SO PRETTY ESPECIALLY KALPAS (Even tho there was no face reveal but we got to hear him laugh like a maniac while cooking I love itt)

IDK IF YOU SAW THE EPISODE YET SO I WONT SPOIL JUST IN CASE

Now, YOUR ONE-SHOTS, I have many words

THE FIRST CHAPTER WITH THE ALLERGIES I WOULD FEEL SO BAD FOR HIM CUZ I LOVE CHOCOLATE SO MUCH

And we can just, casually stab him?? Why did I never think about that it makes so much sense but that's also hilarious

THE NICKNAMESS, HE'S FIREBOY WHILE READER IS WATERGIRL!! THIS UNLOCKED A MEMORY I FORGOT ABOUT!!

I would definitely call him the loathing of my life as a joke too but with AFFECTION (Or chocolate mousse, like "cmere my lil chocy mousse" and he just stares holes in your skull)

AND THE THIRD CHAPTER?? POLY KALPAS AND EMILE IS NOT SOMETHING I THOUGHT I NEEDED BUT IT WORKSSS IT WORKS SO WELL

I swear I'm about to be down bad for your version of Emile too cuz reading all that made my heart warm

Question, what kind of coffee would they like best? Emile seems like a café latte person while Kalpas would like his coffee black with like 3 cubes of sugar

AAAA I JUST WANT TO HUG THEM INTO OBLIVIONN

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET YOU SERVED, WE KALPAS FANS ARE BEING SO SPOILED RN‼️

(Also is it just me or is the request list gone? I was about to check but I can't find it😭)

HI 🧊 ANON!! I DIDNT KNOW THE ANIME WAS COMING OUT OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE WAITED 😭😭

I swear every time kalpas is on my screen I just gasp like I'm dying and have to stop myself from giggling so my roommates don't think I'm crazy. I'm probably gonna watch both episodes tonight but I guarantee there will be at least two (2) posts of me losing it and I will have paused the episode at least 7 times

I feel like kalpas definitely just Does Not Notice getting stabbed, but everyone one base is too scared to get close enough to do it also the chocolate allergy is a tragedy 😭 I'm sorry I've done this to him 💔💔

YEEEEES FIRE BOY AND WATERGIRL WAS MY CHILDHOOD!!!! I think I'd have him as "loathing of my life" as his contact name but then with like 17 hearts next to it lol also calling him chocolate mousse and he glares at you but then comes over anyway 😭 AND THEN EMILE STARTS LAUGHING SO KALPAS GLARES AT HIM INSTEAD 😭😭 the brainrotting hours are real I'm sorry

I think Emile definitely gets like very basic caramel latte most times but if you get him a White Girl (TM) drink he will finish it in half the time. also if he just needs some sort of coffee, he will drink it black (but he complains the entire time)

I was gonna say I think Kalpas drinks black coffee but then I thought about him getting an iced coffee so he can have the straw under his mask and now I'm just imagining him with like the strawberry pink refresher from Starbucks 😭 he fucking melts all the ice just by holding the cup for 5 minutes but he likes cold drinks for himself. that being said, he 100% steals sips of Emile's coffee when he's not looking I put way too much thought into this oh no

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED I'm so sorry I FUCKINY EDITED THE LIST ON MY PHONE AND IT ONLY UPDATED THE TAGS AND NOT THE LIST??? AND THEN I EDITED IT AGAIN AND IT POSTED PRIVATELY 😭😭😭 it should be fixed in a minute thank you for telling me cause I never would have noticed 😭😭

#i feel like it would be much more accurate to describe him as an ‘i can fix him’ type. if it wasn’t his idea to help you in the first place

My Top Posts in 2022:

#5

yknow, I’ve joked before, “idk I don’t really go for the whole ‘I can fix him’ thing (except Zevran, don’t look at me)” but thinking about it more, that’s…. not entirely true. like, that’s not really who he is

(idk maybe i misunderstand the appeal of that character type, but to me it seems like it’s about guiding and comforting someone who needs help to get through some kind of hardship or grief, which leads to that emotional intimacy; it’s not just about a character who does bad things or who bad things have happened to)

like yes he’s been through Some Horrendous Stuff but he’s remarkably well-adjusted despite it all. some of it is pretense (because his coping method of choice is humor and deflection), and also because he doesn’t fully trust you, but even when he’s at max approval, really the only thing that’s actually still bothering him is the thing that led him to leave Antiva (Rinna’s death). even then, he’s been struggling with that guilt for a while and you don’t really have to help him through it, you’re just someone he can open up to bc he’s been keeping it to himself. and he admits that he mostly feels guilty for falling for the trick in the first place; he still largely holds the crows responsible for what happened. he realizes he was manipulated.

(honestly, the crows are a HUGE reason for his baggage, but by the time you meet him he’s done most of the work: he’s already realized that and left. it’s clear he’d been feeling stuck for a while and looking for an out, but the most he needs you for, at least initially, is a foothold out of there. he says himself that he’d never had a real opportunity to leave Antiva before.)

When I say that I wish Morrigan was a lesbian, I don’t just mean that I wish she was romanceable by a female warden (GOD. I absolutely do tho). That's half, but the other half of that is that she feels like the perfect opportunity for a story about compulsory heterosexuality, and that's just as important to it.

She talks a lot about how she was sheltered and has little to no firsthand experience of the world. She knows only what she’s seen and what Flemeth has told her, but part of her journey centers around realizing that Flemeth is not always right, and that there's more to life that her mother could never have told her about. (The grimoire, sure, Flemeth would never have shared with her. But what really stands out to me is that when you gain her friendship, it's something she never anticipated. Because Flemeth taught her there was no point in that kind of relationship, and she believed it unquestioningly.)

Morrigan is no stranger to sexuality (because, well, she says that she's seen her mother bring men home), but it stands to reason that she has very little idea of how it relates to herself. If she has any experience at all up to this point, it's in a similar fashion: seducing people for her own benefit, ie intentionally manipulating them, generally so she can save her own skin (and thanks to the fact that the devs forgot to put female templars in the first game :) it’s implied that these have to have been men)

(And with a male warden who tries to romance her, she says that initially she was planning on doing the same to him: she strung him along because it served her goals, and she wasn’t expecting to actually develop feelings for him in return. She wants to create an old god baby, and she needs him to be the sperm donor. That's it.)

She knows only what she's seen from her mother (or what she can reasonably deduce by herself. She knows how babies are made). She thinks things like love and romance are foolish, and Not For People Like Her, so it makes perfect sense that, in her mind, having sex with men would be one of those things that you're just supposed to do. Even if you get no pleasure from it. Even if it disgusts you. Because you should feel nothing for the other person—otherwise, you're weak and naive.

But I'm enamored with the idea of Morrigan who still doesn’t have experience with friendship or love, who plans on seducing the male warden (which, in this situation, would be Alistair, until she realizes he’s too infuriating lol) because she has the same endgoal. But in the meantime, she makes her first real friend in a female warden, and doesn’t know how to explain things because she doesn’t have any frame of reference for what platonic friendship is supposed to feel like, but surely this can’t be right.

Just like in her romance as it’s currently written, she doesn’t know how to handle serious feelings, and she definitely wouldn’t know how to handle romantic or sexual feelings for someone who isn’t a man. That isn’t one of the things she knew could happen. It's unique because in this case, it's not comp het from society, because she doesn't participate in one. It doesn't stem from any kind of malice or ingrained bias.

It's the blind spot you don't even realize you have, in the same way that she has no reason to know what a flamingo is because she grew up in a bog. It's just the result of being sheltered.

saw a post talking about bethany and carver and how strange their fanon characterizations are, and tumblr kept messing up and i couldn’t reblog it, so i’m making my own post with what i put in the tags

bethany and carver both hate their lives, even before they come to kirkwall. the difference is that carver blames hawke for it, while bethany blames herself. and i think some of the reason the former gets so much more meta/sympathy/etc is because self-esteem issues are a muddy and uncomfortable thing to talk about, and it’s easier to talk about carver’s issue. he has a scapegoat and a built-in success story: as soon as he strikes out on his own, he’ll be all right

i think bethany is less popular for a lot of reasons. first of all, mage seems to be a disproportionately popular class, so some people would never even meet her. also, she doesn’t make a very strong first impression. a lot of people think she’s bland so they wouldn’t be interested in keeping her in the party and getting to know more about her. because at first glance, she is the mild-mannered polite perfect daughter character. that’s who she has to be, because it averts suspicion from the templars if she follows the rules, sure, but also because it’s how she makes it up to her family for being a mage. they’ve already done so much for her without even asking; how could she possibly inconvenience them any more? she’s a burden just by existing, so she has to do everything she can, be as unobtrusive as possible, to make up for that
